PERSONAL PRAYER AND EDIFICATION
Below is a prayer out of Ephesians that has been very helpful in my life as well as many others. Brother Kenneth Hagin once stated that his personal insight into the word of God highly increased after he started quoting this prayer over himself and his family. He also said all of his family came to know Jesus as their personal saviour as a result of being faithful to pray this over his family.Ephesians
Chapter 3
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
One of the most important things you can do as a believer is to maintain close personal fellowship with your Father God.
Till next time, Jesus is Lord
STAY BALANCED IN YOUR FAITH
STAY BALANCED IN YOUR FAITH / MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE TO THE TEACHINGS FROM VARIOUS MINISTRY OFFICESEphesians
Chapter 4
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
By making yourself available to various offices in the body of Christ you will stay balance in your faith walk.
INWARD WITNESS
Spend time in God's word and prayer. Listen to the inward witness.First John 2:
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
Your personal time in prayer will allow you to be more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
He will always direct your path. Depend on His direction because that is what He desires to do for you.
Until next time, KEEP THE FAITH!
